TWO more members of the team that created Queensgate Market are to speak at a debate about the building's future.

TWO more members of the team that created Queensgate Market are to speak at a debate about the building's future.

John Bloomer, of Kidderminster, was the senior architect working on the 1970s market hall, as a member of the J Seymour Harris Partnership team.

Arthur Paul, of Fernside, Almondbury, was a steel erector for the market hall.

Both men will be at the debate with architect Kenneth Wood, engineer Colin Prior, glazing designers Les Ratcliff and Malcolm Dobson and German sculptor Fritz Steller, who all worked on designing or building the market hall.

The debate, next Monday at Huddersfield University, has been called by campaign group Huddersfield Gem, to examine the importance of the building's design, features, its problems and possibilities for the future.

Huddersfield Gem thinks the market hall is architecturally significant and should be preserved.

The debate will be chaired by journalist Martin Wainwright. It will start at 7pm in the university's Canalside East lecture theatre, Room CEG/28.
